Yes works here as well, but when the rotation starts again after rollout it
all goes out of time, as if 2/3 loops are running.

function showImages(){
    //test to see wether rotation should be on
    if (inuse==1){
            testImageCounter();
        }
    else{
        return;
    }
}

The idea is that if 'inuse' is off (equal to 0) the function should end -
which stops the looping.

Hope that makes more sense.
